there are some cool arial photos of greenland's glaciers at http://www.notsogreen.com/. i think what you have done is an improvement but the pics might give you ideas should you choose to look at them, granted the map view is different from the closer ups in the pictures.

I also think NARSAQ should go on the other side of the map and ILLOQQORTOORMIUT seems slightly out of place, maybe move it down the coast a bit.

Good work so far.

I like the center.

I am guessing that it looks like you took some islands and overlayed them with the image? Seems kind of like that.

Thanks, I used those.

On the below version, that's exactly what I did.

I'd like to see you add the native name of the island: Kalaallit Nunaat and also there flag. Maybe to mix up the game play a bit the cross-island routes should be territories which lose 1 or 2 troops per turn like dust bowl does (except these territories will be neutral)

ice cap looks a lot better

A very nice looking map .44, very clean and it looks nice. It will be a great addition to Rj's fantastic Iceland Map.

A few things i noticed:

• The bonus colours on the key are a little hard to distinguish, they could be defined a little better.
• I think the Bonus Titles around the coastline of the map could be in a better font, something stylish would look better.
• I am also wondering whether the bonus regions are a little too large, is there any way to break some of the bigger ones up into smaller bonuses?
• Love the Polar Bear

Other than that it is really nice, keep up the great work

Let's get to some feedback…

I like the native name idea. I'll incorporate that into v4. As for the flag, like I stated above, it doesn't really go well with the overall scheme of the map.

Not a bad idea. I'll think about it.

Good.

Not bad noob.

Thanks, and I wish I could compete with Rj *sigh*

I just realized I messed up on those, like when I changed the color of Upernavik. But I'll make them more defined.
• I think the Bonus Titles around the coastline of the map could be in a better font, something stylish would look better.
I'll look around.
• I am also wondering whether the bonus regions are a little too large, is there any way to break some of the bigger ones up into smaller bonuses?
Oh, I forgot to say: DON'T COMMENT ON BONUSES — THEY AREN'T REAL #s JUST PLACEHOLDERS
• Love the Polar Bear
As do I, and basically everyone else
Other than that it is really nice, keep up the great work
Thanks, sam.

Thanks for the feedback, let's keep 'em coming!

I didn't mean the bonus amount that a player get's i was talking about the bonus regions themselves. Perhaps it would be better to split "Nurdostgronland" into 2 bonuses?

I'm running out of names here! … nah I got something that can work over there, but there is definitely a lack of names out of the south and west regions. Anyway, hmm … that sounds like a pretty good idea to me

The graphics are straight out of RJ's playbook. Nothing wrong with that though.

I think it's looking good. Sort of does take the style of the Iceland map.

[el-presidente]

Some ports would be good. The paths across the ice cap are good, but some ports would make travel from top to bottom easier. I don't know Greenland very well but I think there are some cities along the western coast which would make good ports.

[InsomniaRed]

I think the texture is bland and the borders are very thin and plain. I don't know. The map is good, but it seems a bit boring. All colors are about the same. Kind of reminds me of the Middle East map and how the entire map looks like different shades of sand (not exactly the most amazing map to look at on the site) and I don't want this to turn into a map of the different shades of water. I don't really have any specific ideas of how to liven it up, but right now, it's not as attractive as it could be.

However, the layout, territory count, etc. is all great.

The legend should be a bit more...I don't know...telling, if that makes any sense.

Another healthy dose of good feedback from some good members around here … nice:

I'll take that as a compliment I think the theme works well in both these places … perhaps an idea to spruce things up is to overlay that image of ice over the inland Greenland like you did Rj?

Added one from Nuuk to Muriusaq.

I do know what you mean — maybe my above comment about a low-opacity image(s) overlayed over the entire island would be a nice touch?

Minimap help

Okay … here's Large Version 4 … please note the bonus numbers are just placeholders. And, per my note on the map, lany(ards) will be doing the XML here.
